I actually squeeze the bag with a free hand when I inhale. Makes it a little easier than trying to suck the air in. Hold the mask against my face with the other hand since I've taken the strap off like Jonny says.
If you can get a humidifier/bubbler it will help in the long run. I didn't have one and the dry tank air really does a nummber on your sinuses or throat. Got to were I would jam some tissue up the headache side nostril and then breath through my mouth because the sinus was so raw.
